PRAYER SERVICES AND THEIR NOVELTY

The most striking feature that stuns the devotees is the absence hereditary priests. Invariably one sees in the Sanctum Sanctorum men and women in red garb absorbed in the performance of several types of services. They belong to Manrams of different places and their tenure lasts for 24 hours. This privilege is granted to all the branches. 

There are no professional priests and gone with them the fraudulent practices of way lying, bullying, fleecing etc., under the guise of fees for pujas. If devotees desire of performing pujas by themselves they are allowed, if red garb is worn. So this has ushered in a new epoch, where God is seen as God without iron certain separating the Creator and the created. Another noblest innovation! Moreover, women are given priority, though they are men either to guiding or assisting them. So the MOTHER is worshipped by the children of her own sex. What a novelty!
